Customizing default settings in Kubuntu 15.10

Hi, I'm now customizing Kubuntu 15.10 (and 16.04 later). I have some questions about default settings of Kubuntu 15.10 and KDE Plasma 5. 1. How to overwrite the default desktop layout, which is defined in /usr/share/plasma/shells/org.kde.plasma.desktop/contents/layout.js, and the default

Re: 16.04 Beta2 Testing feedback

Hi, I'm now trying customizing Kununtu 16.04. I have a question: I set the activity template to org.kde.plasma.folder, and when I add any widget on the desktop it would become like this: http://imgur.com/SgzuXfq Any way to add the widget without the white background? Thanks, Franklin

Re: Usability Improvement

Hi, In my customized version (i.e., before deployment) I always set the wallet system to off in the global configuration. One if the reason is that the name "wallet" confused users. They would think it as online payment tools. Besides, I also turned off and removed *all* the kdepim packages

Issues regarding customizing Kubuntu

Hi, Following my talk in Akademy 2017, I'd like to list my issues about customizing Plasma5 in Kubuntu and hope that we can work it out together. 1. plasmashell doesn't honor the XDG related environment variables: I set the XDG env variables like XDG_MENU_PREFIX, XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, ... etc. in

Re: Drop PIM from the iso (default install)

Hi, My experiences and thoughts about this topic: 1. ezgo, our distribution derived from Kubuntu, doesn't contain *any* kdepim packages. No telepathy-*, no Kwallet, no KMail, even no akregator, which I preferred to pre-install in the ezgo but finally gave up because I was forced to install

Re: Dropping kdesudo

in our customized system we usually use gksu instead. IIRC kdesudo got some problem when running by user clicking a desktop file, i.e., by putting kdesudo into the Exec Ina desktop file. However I forgot what problem it had since it's been a long time ago. Franklin -- Sent from my phone

Alternatives to org.kde.plasma.desktop

Hi, My study of Look-n-Feel has some progress. Now I can use my own look-n-feel package to change the wallpaper theme and so on. The next step is /usr/share/plasma/shells and /usr/share/plasma/layout-templates, which define 1) Default desktop plasmoids and activities, and 2) default panel
